2. The pool pump of claim 1 , wherein said control panel and said control unit are disposed on said end cover and integrally formed with said housing to form a waterproof sealed structure, wherein the inner side surface of said end cover has an accommodation space, said control unit comprises a package housing, said control unit is fixedly connected to said end cover through said package housing and is accommodated in said accommodation space to form an enclosed body, and a seal ring is disposed at the junction of said control unit and said end cover.
3. The pool pump of claim 1 , wherein said housing has at least one accommodation cavity, said accommodation cavity comprises an opening, and at least one cover body is disposed in a flippable manner on said housing through at least one linkage, said linkage located at the front side, the rear side or both sides of said opening.
4. The pool pump of claim 3 , wherein said control panel comprises a first housing cover and a second housing cover, and said control unit is accommodated between said first housing cover and said second housing cover.
5. The pool pump of claim 4 , wherein said first housing cover has a display window, and at least one display component is disposed on said control unit and exposed through said display window.
6. The pool pump of claim 4 , wherein said second housing cover has at least one notch and an accommodation groove, said notch is located at an edge of one end of said second housing cover, and said accommodation groove is located at an edge of the other end of said second housing cover.
7. The pool pump of claim 6 , wherein said control panel has a clamping slot located at a lower bottom of said control panel, a linkage rod disposed on said housing, said linkage rod is accommodated in said accommodation groove when the control panel is in said horizontal position, said linkage rod is engaged with said clamping slot when the control panel is in said preset angle position.
8. The pool pump of claim 7 , further comprising a port and at least one elastic body, said port being formed in said housing, said elastic body being sheathed on said linkage rod, and said elastic body and said linkage rod being disposed in said port.
9. The pool pump of claim 7 , wherein said linkage rod comprises a first inclined surface and a second inclined surface, said clamping slot forms a first engagement surface on said first housing cover and forms a second engagement surface on said second housing cover, said first inclined surface and said second inclined surface are respectively engaged with said first engagement surface and said second engagement surface.
10. The pool pump of claim 3 , wherein said control panel comprises at least one rotary shaft assembly, and said control panel is disposed in a flippable manner on said housing through said rotary shaft assembly.
11. The pool pump of claim 3 , wherein said end cover has a recessed portion, and said control panel is adhered to said end cover when said control panel is in said horizontal position and is accommodated in said recessed portion.
12. The pool pump of claim 3 , wherein a recess is formed on an outer surface of said cover body, and a flange is formed at an edge of an upper surface of said recess.
13. The pool pump of claim 12 , wherein an inner surface of said cover body has a snap-fit member located at a lower surface of said recess, an engagement groove is disposed in said accommodation cavity, said cover body is engaged with said engagement groove through said snap-fit member and covers said accommodation cavity.
14. The pool pump of claim 13 , wherein said snap-fit member comprises a movable rod, said movable rod is sheathed with an elastic member, said movable rod and said elastic member are accommodated in a mounting base and are mounted on said cover body.
15. The pool pump of claim 1 , further comprising a telescopic pull rod assembly installed at a side edge of said housing, a roller assembly installed at the bottom of said housing.
16. A pool pump, comprising: a housing comprising an end cover disposed at an upper part of said housing; and a control panel disposed on said housing, with a control unit connected to said control panel to form a capacitive touch control, wherein a plurality of recesses are formed on an inner side surface of said control panel, a plurality of electrically conductive components are disposed on said control unit, and said electrically conductive components are received in said recesses, wherein the plurality of recesses are geometrically arranged such that each recess of the plurality of recesses corresponds with an electrically conductive component of said electrically conductive components, wherein said electrically conductive component is a sensing spring, one end of said sensing spring is connected to said respective recess, and the other end of said sensing spring is connected to said control unit, so that said control panel forms said capacitive touch control, and wherein said control panel is disposed in a flippable manner on said housing, and is flippable between a levelled position and at least one preset angle position relative to said end cover.
